FUND PRODUCER

The opportunity will be open to anyone across the UK and will give ten filmmakers, and their teams, the chance to make a short documentary film with a budget of between £20,000 and £40,000 each. All teams will be under the guidance of Netflix and other filmmaking professionals, to ensure that the final films are the best they can possibly be, and in a bid to open doors to those most under-represented in the industry.

In their finished forms, each documentary must be between 8-12 minutes long and will live on Netflix UK’s social channels, with the potential for further development in the future. The brief for these fully funded short documentaries is “Britain’s Not Boring And Here’s A Story.”

Entries will be open from 4th Jan - 31st Jan 2021. We hope that aspiring filmmakers will get creative over this Christmas period and start to formulate ideas.

For the first round, applicants will be required to submit a logline (one sentence); a short synopsis and creative statement about their documentary idea. Further details on how to apply can be found at www.netflixdocfund.co.uk

You must be a UK resident to apply. Only one application will be accepted per person. Entrants must be aged 18 and over.
